title: The Herbst triad: report of two cases.
abstract: We report two patients with hypoproteinemia and finger clubbing in whom the underlying gastroesophageal reflux was only detected after symptoms of esophageal stenosis became apparent. Ignorance of gastroesophageal reflux as a possible cause of these impressive symptoms led to complications and delayed surgery.
